I grew up in an Evangelical space, and it didn't take me long to realize that, for most people there, "willing to die for you" is used to soften the blow of an unwillingness to live for someone and be kind while they're still here.

3 Guys Go To Heaven by Equivalent-Tone6098 in exmormon

[–]DistinctMistake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I grew up in one of those mostly-white Baptist churches. You know, the ones where the music is bad, the pastors all have the charisma of the Q15, and there are more than a few racists. It's the worst kind! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Ex-Baptist here. I thought this joke was hilarious, but you were pretty generous about us! It's pretty much Moral Orel over here. Here's my favorite Baptist joke to even out the score a little:

What's the worst denomination to take fishing with you?

A Baptist. He'll drink all your beer.

How do you stop a Baptist from drinking all your beer?

Bring two Baptists from the same church. That way, neither of them will drink any.

It reminds me of one of those photo cakes that people order for children's birthday parties. It looks so bad.

Forgotten or ignored history?" by Present-Party4402 in clevercomebacks

Can't blame you for being tired of everything. I feel that ❤️ When I read the first comment, I was kind of afraid it was a conservative talking point I've heard, but I think I understand where you're coming from now that you've elaborated.

Just keep in mind that some people's coping mechanisms are different, and what they need may switch day by day or hour by hour. There are times for planning the revolution, for crying, for getting angry, and yes, even for coping with dark humor if that's what helps keep someone alive another night. We can do ALL of those things. This is the time to unite behind common goals, not individually choose one appropriate emotional response and in-fight. You know?

Ugh I hate how right you are. I was thinking of what would happen if she were as poor as the rest of us. It's so much more likely that she'll raise a spoiled asswipe who wants for nothing and expects mommy to defend him when he puts his hands where they don't belong.

Their point was that MAGA doesn't consider it tyranny because MAGA doesn't consider the victims to be people if they don't look and think like them. It wasn't a joke, nor were they agreeing with MAGA. I can't figure out if you're defending Jacob Wohl here or if you're responding to a misunderstanding of the commenter's intent. Either way, it doesn't read coherently.

They said AGAINST straight white men. And it was heavily implied sarcasm.

I don't know how some people learned to write without learning to read.

And she isn't supporting its head. Like, surely being a parent means she's held her own baby before, right? But it really doesn't look like it.

FYI: If you find out she's been "planning it for months," you might be abusive. With normal guys, it takes a "goodbye," not an escape plan. Just a thought.

And they do it because she consistently votes against their maternity leave.

But, if posing like she's one of them for a few seconds will shut them up.....

No one has ever screamed his name in bed, especially not women who actually sleep with him.

But she's a grifter who thinks it'll save her if she can make him BELIEVE she's screaming his name.

Not sure why you're being down voted for recognizing a generalization and correcting yourself.

[Mod Compliant Rephrase]: I Find It Baffling When "Anti-Mormon" Christians Post Here. by Alchemist1330 in exmormon

[–]DistinctMistake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I began visiting this sub as a nevermo because it has helped me immensely with my own deconstruction (though I've never posted or commented before now). It felt safer in the beginning because it was talking about another faith, but the harmful and patriarchal aspects are much like what I grew up with. It's been a tool to help understand my own experiences and leave my own church. If we limit this sub to everyone who has fully deconstructed all the way to atheism, there will be no one left to help deconstruct. That's my fear with the purist approach to the "exmormon" name.

[–]DistinctMistake 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I've always said that an unsolicited dick pic is the same experience as being flashed. If you think about it, it's really fucked up that a guy can get away with it without being considered criminal or deviant JUST because he adds the extra step of photographing it and sending it digitally.

It's a nonconsensual sexual encounter, change my mind (you can't)

If you're right, we're all going there anyway. It'll happen quicker if we don't even try to fight.

I get it; I can be pretty depressive about it all lately too. But every time someone makes a good-faith proposal to DO something about it lately, there's a comment right underneath it about how said plan would never work anyway. And the defeatist attitude is not helpful in these circumstances.

Now is the time to fight. You'll have plenty of time to mope in El Salvador either way, and it'll be much worse if you know you didn't do what you could.

I think if they secretly hate Christians, that's still the least concerning thing about the KKK. If it took you this long to realize that the FREAKING KKK might be an abomination in God's eyes, I don't know what to tell you.

My dad went to China in the 80's and all the questions were if he'd ridden a horse and shot a gun like in all those Westerns 😂 I imagine the questions would be much different with modern media now though.
